A system of rehabilitation measures that helps the body recover after illness or injury. That's how a good many people picture physiotherapy. But AND klinika physiotherapist Radvilė Gailė Bautronytė assures us that treatment through movement is needed by, and beneficial to, every one of us. We're rushing to tell you about the benefits and broad possibilities of physiotherapy that not everyone knows about. What is physiotherapy?

It's not only medicine that heals, but also movement. The ancient Greeks already knew this truth. Over time, physiotherapy became a science and a treatment method confirmed by numerous studies. Today physiotherapy is one of the main rehabilitation measures. It's based on the idea that properly applied movement helps the body renew and improve the condition of the bones and muscles, the cardiovascular system and other systems. According to R. G. Bautronytė, each patient must receive treatment designed just for them. “Physiotherapy procedures are carried out individually, taking into account the specifics of a person's body and their ailments. Only then will we have pleasing results.”

 

What health troubles does physiotherapy solve?

1. It lets you say goodbye to stress for a long time. Therapeutic massages improve your emotional state, relax the muscles and the mind, and remove stress and tension.
2. It helps you avoid the surgeon's scalpel. In certain cases physiotherapy helps heal not only the pain but also its cause, and so lets you avoid an operation.
3. It lets you manage diabetes. With both types of diabetes, part of the treatment plan is not only medication but also physical exercise. Physiotherapists help stabilise patients' condition, normalise the central nervous system, circulation and breathing, and halt the development of complications.
4. It helps with heart disease. After a heart attack, a rehabilitation sanatorium won't be enough. Intensive physiotherapy procedures help restore vital functions and return to a daily rhythm, and regulate blood pressure.
5. It helps with lung disease. Treatment through movement improves patients' quality of life, restores breathing functions and strengthens the body's overall condition.
6. It eases mental illness. It has been established that movement therapy has a positive effect on certain mental illnesses, such as depression: physiotherapy exercises improve the emotional state, reduce tension, provide energy and regulate the sleep rhythm.
7. It significantly improves women's health. It's no secret that women have specific health needs, especially during pregnancy and the postnatal period. Physiotherapy considerably eases this period. It also addresses gynaecological problems, lets you reduce pain during menstruation and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, and helps with urinary incontinence.
